I can’t really remember getting into Digimon that well, unfortunately. But like with Pokemon I was lucky enough to catch the first episode on TV and I remember getting pretty hooked on the first season, tuning in to watch every episode.
I remember watching bits and parts of season 2 but the “Digimon movie” and continued stigma of “Digimon is a Pokemon rip-off” at school sadly put me off the rest of the franchise for a long time.
I picked up the media releases of Adventure tri. though. Saw all the old characters I loved had gotten older and was interested. I think the movies are pretty decent, if a bit hard to follow because I haven’t rewatched season one at all in like, twenty years. Still haven’t watched the last one, though, mind. Should try and find the time.
